Jimmie Allen, a Black country music singer, has been accused of sexual assault by two women. On Thursday, July 13th, he took the extraordinary step of bringing countersuits against both women, denying all involvement and claiming that the accusations were false.
The first accusation came in May, from an unnamed woman who claimed to have been working as Allen's manager at the time. The second accuser came forward in June, alleging that Allen had recorded their sexual encounter without her consent and ejaculated inside of her without her consent.
In response to the accusations, Allen was dropped by his label, publicist, and agency. He explained that the relationship with the first accuser was consensual, and that he had not ejaculated inside the second accuser. He is now suing both women, claiming that his former manager had made "deliberate, intentional, malicious, and willful" statements to news outlets to defame him and his career. He is also claiming invasion of privacy, interference with business relations, and inflicting emotional distress.
Allen told Billboard that he is filing the countersuit in order to protect his reputation and finances, as well as to refute the false accusations. He said, "As the son and brother of rape victims, and the father of daughters, these false claims are extremely hurtful to me and everyone around me. These false allegations have caused me to lose a vast number of business and endorsement opportunities that I worked extremely hard for. These false allegations have also not only harmed me but have caused severe financial damage to my band, my team, and their families.”
Elizabeth Fegan, the lead attorney for Allen’s accusers, believes that Allen is countersuing the victims in order to intimidate them into not speaking out. She has expressed her eagerness to present evidence to the court to prove that Allen is a serial abuser. It remains to be seen what the outcome of the countersuit will be, but it is clear that the allegations have caused significant hardship to Allen and those around him.
